The instruction manual says Dextron III. But I use Castrol Transmax Z - it's a quite pricey, but I instantly noticed smoother and more precise shifts.

ok , so trans max Z is the good stuff ? just bought 2 bottles of it

also to drain the trans in a R34 GT-T is there a drain plug on the trans , just a basic socket ?

You'll need more than 2 bottles. If you drain the sump you will get only a fraction of the fluid. Ill just copy from my Stagea post:

Changing the atf is not a simple task but you can do it yourself. Dropping the sump on the auto box will only yield around 1 or 2 litres but at least then you can clean the fiter (its steel) and pan and then put it back together. then take off a hose from the transmssion oil cooler and put it in a 2L plastic bottle and run the engine until you have collected a couple of litres. Stop the engine and pour 2L of new atf down the dipstick (for the auto trans ) and repeat til the oil comes out clean. Could take 10 to 12 Litres

ok thanks for that , i just ended up emptying the sump and getting out 2L, got 6L left

if i remove a hose from the transmission cooler and let the car run for a bit would i be able to get about 5L out then empty the sump and re fill ive only got 6L of fluid left

Maybe but to be on the safe side I would still drain 2L then turn it off, put 2 back down the dipstick ...turn it on and drain another 2 replace and drain the last litre and replace.

ok sounds like a good idea, but is there any chance of getting air into the system?

, due to if not i will remove a hose and fill up about 3-4L into a bucket at a time n refill trans at same time
